West Virginia PTA honors its local units by awarding yearly membership awards. Through the dedication of volunteers at the local level, membership flourishes throughout the West Virginia. Make sure you apply for the yearly membership awards.

The PTA membership year is a great time to also award your local unit for a great membership drive! As you prepare to send in dues for those members that have already joined, remember that the membership year does not stop in October or November. As an incentive to grow the membership of your local unit, the West Virginia PTA proudly gives the following membership awards. Although a few of the awards are for the beginning of the year, there are still many opportunities after the New Year. These awards are presented at the 2018 WV PTA State Convention. Remember to start the New Year off with a membership drive!
